David O. Saenz, PhD, EdM, LLC

Most people seeking therapy want to know: Will I be understood and heard? Will I be accepted, at ease and supported? Will the therapist I choose be right for me? I always invite a phone conversation so that you can ask these questions, get to know me a little, and better determine if we're a match. At times I'll be active and directive by challenging you to meet your goals: other times I'll be in the sidelines listening carefully, and providing encouragement, support, and understanding. Ultimately though, our relationship will be highly collaborative-- a "team" approach focused solely on your behalf.

I also provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for children, adults and personal injury cases. My approach is holistic and integrative-I look first at who you are as a whole, your needs and your concerns. My hope is to be as human as possible-- approachable, friendly, open, understanding, at times witty, and emotionally accessible.

Great psychologist. Dr. Saenz was very effective at putting my husband at ease within minutes. Husband hates psychologists! We were able to get through the process quickly (15 sessions). One thing though, if you aren't used to be challenged or pushed, or given "homework" between sessions, you'll have to get used to it. We paid out-of-pocket and it was well worth it- much better than my in-network therapists.

2 years after therapy, our relationship is still going strong, and it was n the operating room table in ICU before.

One of the best therapist I've seen. Very forthright, compassionate, insightful, sensitive and competent. On walking in, he made me feel comfortable and as if everything I had to say mattered. Dr. Saenz was not your typical "u-hum" therapist that just sits and listens and once in a while says something: he is engaged, active and asks penetrating questions, but not in a way that intrudes or interrupts therapy.

One thing that made a difference was his years of experience. I needed someone who was seasoned, mature, patient and very knowledgeable, and I found it almost immediately on just sitting across from him. Within minutes i found myself opening up in ways I had previously been afraid to do so.

One thing I liked was his office. The interior design was wonderful, the ambiance is warm calming and inviting. The furniture and office paintings, wall colors and overall design was unlike any office I've ever been in.

So far I've referred 3-4 people to him, and they've all said pretty much the same thing.
